Unfortunately, since I joined in 2019, after purchasing my JT-MT, I've seen this all to often. Impulse buy, thinking it will make a great daily driver, and the truck in it's stock form, even the Rubicon, are useless as anything more than a dirt road vehicle. Uncomfortable, awkward with less...
More valid than ever. 6 years with it, 58,000 trail & trailer pulling miles on it now and it’s finally going to the shop for the 1st factory, design flaw & worn out part, to have the plastic oil cooler atop the manifold replaced. Then back to its Gladiator Hanger while it waits to be used...
Just wanted to say thanks to all of the responses and replies, good, bad, indifferent or otherwise. I love my JT, because of how it gets used, its intended use, which is Limited. To me it's kind of like a horse. A horse will always work better and be happier off pavement and out in nature. I...
Yup, because I'm happy not using it as a daily driver. :) for adventures only, and it has provided a lot of them, and plans for many more. 50k hard trail miles and trailer pulling. Still has the original brake pads. JTMT
You've had it for a while, or you purchased it a few months back. You feel like you got a pretty good deal, and that is a super nice feeling, no doubt. But as you try to use it, baby it, show it off and just be that proud jeep owner some of the little things you could do in your former rig are...
Hmm, Spoken like a guy looking thru his windshield over a Dash full of ducks & a tonneau cover over and un-used truck bed. Originally I bought my JT as a DD, and what a horrible decision that was. I quickly realized Jeeps (&JT's) are for off road, everyone I've known that purchased a JT, JL, JK...
I'll check out your profile. I would disagree whole heartedly with your unresearched claim that JT's are bought as daily drivers and not for the adventure value. But myself and most of my jeep owner friends Hunt, fish and recreate in the Rocky Mountains, avoiding rubber ducks and preferring...
I special ordered my MTJT 04-04-2019, I received it July 3 2019, I have had 0 problems with it, I credit that with staying away from non essential electronics. and its worked. 6.5" lift on 38's, trails or pulling my 21' trailer w/5.13 gears, 48k miles of abuse. Just returned from Moab too, HVAC...
to the Original poster. I do know exactly what you are talking about and have done many Jeep BOH's with the assistance of the BLD system. No lockers, no limited slip diff. If you know that its standard on most JT's and take the time to learn it, it is a vital tool. Excellent post.
I have had great communication with Core via email. PM me if you would like the email address I get responses from.
On a different note, not sure who is placing the "sponsored" add on my replies, but I'm tired of seeing POS Subaru ads on my postings. I want nothing to do with Subaru's...
you put a ton of work into that research. nice. I have to ask, is it worth it to have a 2 wheel drive jeep truck just to get 20-25 mpg?
I get more smiles per gallon with a 6.5" lift, 38x13.5 tires with 5.13 gears. I even giggle a bit when I hit eighth gear doing 70mph driving to Moab. I'm...
There ya go, now you got the right idea. You are looking at some cool rides. I've had my Supra for about 60 days now, and we just got snow. I'm sad. I just finished doing a legit 6.5" upgrade on my front end of the JT, and now my custom front drive shaft is vibrating. I've done everything...
Thanks for the Feed back. My RTT and Rack weigh in at.....105 lbs, all alloy, 4 wing nuts and it removes from my bed in under 5 minutes. I'm talking camper shells, like the pic below. I like driving my jeep to work maybe once a month in the summer with the offroad doors on and the top down...
Firm believer Jeeps are horrible Daily drivers and owners should use them primarily for off roading and recreation. Ducks suck, Jeep BOH's are the bomb. Gladiators should remain a light duty vehicle and not have "Camper shells" on them, ever.
Ha Ha, there... Thanks for the very welcomed thread.
you might be right, but the jeep groups I spend time with like to mod their vehicles, and they're, for the most part, happy, or happier. I've had mine since they first came out, special ordred it (it being a Sport S) with almost no additional add ons, or "Fluff" and built it up from there...
